teenage girls, and cookery classes for student girls, and Melave Malka Parties
for single men each week. Despite all the challenges over the years they
have never looked back and continue to serve the community
with commitment and dedication and look forward to continue doing so
for many years to come please G-d.They and their children are proud to be part of the army of the
shluchim of the Lubavitcher Rebbe

Lubavitch of Scotland Annual Burns Supper

40 people attended the
7th annual Burns Supper
at L'Chaim's Restaurant
this
past Sunday evening.
Sadly several people had
to be turned away due to
lack of space.
This annual event is
held on the birthday of
the famous scots poet
born over 250 years ago.
The entire event was
planned and organised by
Sora Jacobs who is co
director
of Lubavitch Scotland
and manager of L'Chaim's
Restaurant and Kosher
Catering.
The meal served was a
traditional Burns night
supper enjoyed by
everybody.

Chairman of the evening
was Steven Kayne who
entertained
the guests with his wit
and humour and told the
guests about the
history of Robert Burns.

The toast to the haggis
and reciting of Tam
O'Shanter and other
Burns poetry was done by
heart by David Clapham
who kept the
assembled amused
throughout the evening
by his enthsiastic
recitations.

The reply to the toast
to the lasses was given
by Sorelle
Kayne who extolled the
virtues of a Jewish
mother.

During the course of the
evening Rabbi Jacobs
spoke about the
26th yahrzeit of
rebetzen Chaya Mushka
Schneerson, wife of the
Lubavitcher Rebbe
and about the special
relationship between the
Lubavitcher Rebbe and
Ariel Sharron.
It was the Rebbe who
advised Sharron to build
and use pontoon bridges
to cross
the Suez Canal in 1973
Yom Kippur war. The
Rebbe was involved in
the design of the
Pontoon bridges used by
Nato allies for the
Normandy landing at the
end of the second war.

A special heart
rendering thank you to
all the guests was given
by Sora Jacobs.
She said that despite
the challenges Lubavitch
face in the community,
it is the
friends and guests who
attend our events who
encourage us to keep
organising
more and more events all
the time.
